It’s a phrase that used to fill employees’ hearts with dread and was the butt of many jokes. Team building evoked images of unenthusiastic employees tackling muddy assault courses and wondering what they had done to deserve such treatment.

But these days there are so many exciting options for team-building activities that it does exactly what it’s meant to – it galvanises and motivates staff, it provides once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and it creates lasting memories.

There really is something for everyone. Thrill-seeking groups can try their hand at anything from motor sports and sailing to aerial assault courses. Others can enjoy the slower pace of music, cultural or culinary events.

Many of the specialist team-building agencies listed here can devise bespoke packages and activities. They will spend time getting to know your company, your brand, it’s values and, most importantly, what makes your staff tick.

Some companies are even using team building to make a real difference to their local community or charity. Be it painting a local youth club to fund-raising by taking part in sponsored challenges - simply giving a little time makes an enormous difference and is highly motivational.

Team-building doesn’t have to be a costly exercise but the impact of showing employees that they are valued is priceless.
